Hey! Just moved to the Smith in August 2025 and immediately adopted a sweet dog Bandit who you will probably see around all the time cautiously sniffing you.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to The Smith community. The Leasing team and support staff have been wonderful. They have made this one of the most festive and upbeat holiday season ever. This is a tough time of year for so many. The financial stresses and facing holidays without loved ones who have passed can be overwhelming. The world is in a very precarious place right now. It is so refreshing to see a community so welcoming and warm. Happy holidays to all of my new friends 🎄
